Special Programs
From Superior Skills to Saving Lives
We offer a variety of special programs on demand. Our special programs provide immersion that can take your existing skills to the proverbial next level, offer much-needed clarity on a specific topic, or help save lives. Special programs are different from all others in that they involve intensive training in only one area, building or sharpening expertise through immersion, and they do so without assuming advanced knowledge or experience in any field.
Master Classes and Focused Skills
Custom training that combines two or more special programs or is designed to fit your specific requirements and/or interest can also be put together at short notice due to the modular nature of our offerings. Most special programs are seminars with durations ranging from 8 hours to 40 hours. The RBSD (reality-based self-defense) master classes can range anywhere between a one-time 4-hour class to a 3-month program meeting once a week. If you’re interested in a special program and need more information, or you wish to put together a custom special program, please contact us with your request.

"Having grown up in a tough neighborhood, I've witnessed my share of street fights, and when I was younger, I was involved in a number of them. Long time ago, I have even lost friends to violence. From all that I’ve seen in real life, it’s always been clear to me that what is taught in martial arts schools and most of what passes as self-defense would not cut the mustard on the street. I've always wanted to learn the real thing, but without entering an adolescent or macho atmosphere, and discovering Personal Safety did it for me."
